1. Causes of acne during puberty
Treatment of acne in puberty depends on the cause of acne. Depending on each person's constitution and living environment, the causes of acne in puberty will be different. There are cases of acne appearing very early and the condition is very severe, while there are people from puberty to adulthood still do not see acne appear.
There are many indirect and direct causes of acne in puberty. Below are the 5 main causes:
_Unclean skin: Often young people in puberty and parents often think that only when they wear makeup do they need to remove makeup and use facial cleanser. In fact, even if you don't wear makeup and just go out or stay at home, bacteria have accumulated on your skin for a long time, causing acne. Therefore, you need to have a habit of cleaning your face every day with makeup remover and facial cleanser to reduce the formation of acne.
_Increased androgen hormone: This is a hormone that dilates pores, increases sebum glands, creating an ideal environment for acne-causing bacteria P.Acnes to grow and develop.
_Cosmetic allergies: Teenage skin is quite sensitive. Therefore, at first you need to use benign products with few strong active ingredients so that your skin can get used to them slowly, then increase the dosage and concentration to avoid irritation.
_Unscientific lifestyle: Adolescents are often racing to take important exams in their lives, so they often stay up late, exercise little, and study hard. In addition, young people often eat fast food, soft drinks, etc., which contribute to the formation of acne on the skin.
Regardless of the cause, patients need to choose the right treatment for teenage acne to both treat acne and ensure skin health. In particular, teenage acne often comes from deep causes within the body, such as hormonal disorders, so treatments for teenage acne also need to have a comprehensive impact to bring the best results.
